Description:
The table name arguments to SQLForeignKeys should have any % and _ included escaped because they are used in a LIKE expression. We need to create a common function for doing this, because some other catalog functions have the same problem.

How to repeat:
Get foreign key information from a table with _ or % in its name when there is a similarly-named table that matches the name when interpreted as a LIKE wildcard.
